Awesome design imagination!

It's really hard to take pictures of the other fish, they tend to swim back and forth around my tank but I tried my best!

They seem really healthy, even though they were transferred from my 10 gallon tank.

UPDATE**
Added Java Fern to each end of the tank so that it fills in a bit more. I now have hairgrass, java fern, crypt parva, micro sword, and frogbit.

the space between the inward bend thing needs to be 4mm so that i dont have to use suction cups. i want the length of the whole pipe to be between 6 and 7 inches. that goes for both the inflow and outflow

The length is easy, however the actual bend for an acrylic pipe to 4mm is very difficult if not impossible to achieve. I was trying to do the same thing; the pipe itself will start to warp and you'll get excess acrylic creasing where the lower bend is.

Very attractive tank. I really like your final choice for the hardscaping.

I currently transferred my neon tetras, bloodfin tetras, Chinese algae eaters, ghost shrimps, and double fin beta.
